报道了产于中国新疆天山的翠雀属(毛茛科)一新种——文采新翠雀花Delphinium neowentsaii C. Y. Yang。该种的叶为肾形,叶柄基部不扩展,花较小,组成稀疏总状花序,花梗被贴伏短柔毛,上萼片的距圆锥状钻形,长13-15 mm,基部宽约3 mm,外面疏被短柔毛,萼片蓝色,与西伯利亚的疏花翠雀花D. laxiflorum DC.很相似,但其花瓣和退化雄蕊均为淡黄色而易于区别。     

云南翠雀花属二新种

该文描述了自云南西北部发现的毛茛科翠雀花属二新种:短葶翠雀花(Delphinium breviscaposum W.T.Wang)和丝苞翠雀花(D.filibracteolum W.T.Wang)。短葶翠雀花与察隅翠雀花(D.chayuense W.T.Wang)在亲缘关系上相近,前者与后者的区别在于短葶翠雀花植株具3条簇生短花葶,总状花序的轴和花梗无毛,小苞片较长,萼片较小,退化雄蕊的瓣片不分裂;丝苞翠雀花与拟长距翠雀花(D.dolichocentroides W.T.Wang)近缘,前者与后者的区别在于丝苞翠雀花的花组成圆锥花序,花梗、萼片和萼距均较短,退化雄蕊的爪无附属物,心皮无毛。     

中国毛茛科翠雀属的分类学研究(十):须弥翠雀花二新异名

标本室和野外观察表明匙苞翠雀花(Delphinium subspathulatum W. T. Wang)和吉隆翠雀花(D. tabatae Tamura)与须弥翠雀花(D. himalayae Munz)属于同一种植物,故将前二者均处理为须弥翠雀花的异名。     

中国毛茛科翠雀属的分类学研究(十一): 巴唐翠雀花二新异名

毛茛科巴塘翠雀花（Delphinium batangense Finet & Gagnep.）是我国四川西部和云南西北部一种较广布的高山植物,形态变异颇大。标本室和野外观察表明白缘翠雀花（D.chenii W.T.Wang）和雅江翠雀花（D.yajiangense W.T.Wang）在形态上处于该种的变异范围之内,故将二者均处理为巴塘翠雀花的异名。     

中国毛茛科翠雀属的分类学研究(十三):狭序翠雀花的名实订正

发现根据甘肃南部标本描述的毛茛科狭序翠雀花（Delphinium angustipaniculatum W.T.Wang）与此前记载分布于甘肃南部和四川北部的松潘翠雀花（D.sutchuenense Franch.）属于同一种植物,故将前者处理为后者的异名。讨论了松潘翠雀花与其可能的近缘种秦岭翠雀花（D.giraldii Diels）和疏花翠雀花（D.sparsiflorum Maxim.）的形态区别。     

新疆翠雀花属三新种

该文描述了在新疆维吾尔自治区发现的毛茛科翠雀花属三新种,包括隶属于密花翠雀花组高翠雀花亚组的二新种,即布尔津翠雀花(Delphinium buerjinense W.T.Wang&Z.Z.Yang)和尼勒克翠雀花(D.nilekeense W.T.Wang&Z.Z.Yang),以及隶属于翠雀花组须花翠雀花亚组的一新种,即哈巴河翠雀花(D.habaheense W.T.Wang&Z.Z.Yang);此外,还分别描述了此三新种与近缘种的区别特征。     

中国毛茛科翠雀属的分类学研究(三):拟澜沧翠雀花、磨顶山翠雀花和粗距蓝翠雀花的名实订正(英文)

通过标本室和野外观察,发现根据云南西北部德钦标本描述的拟澜沧翠雀花(Delphinium pseudothibeticum W.T.WangM.J.Warnock)与同样根据德钦标本描述的短角萼翠雀花(D.ceratophorum Franch.var.brevicorniculatum W.T.Wang)属于同一植物,故将前者处理为后者的异名;而根据德钦标本描述的磨顶山("磨顶"应为德钦县羊拉乡茂顶,故"磨顶山"实应为"茂顶山")翠雀花(D.motingshanicum W.T.WangM.J.Warnock)和粗距蓝翠雀花(D.caeruleum Jacq.ex Camb.var.crassicalcaratum W.T.WangM.J.Warnock)均与云南西北部颇为常见的宽距翠雀花(D.beesianum W.W.Smith)属于同一植物(磨顶山翠雀花为宽距翠雀花的高大个体),故将磨顶山翠雀花和粗距蓝翠雀花均处理为宽距翠雀花的异名。     

新疆翠雀花属新植物

本文发表了新疆翠雀花属的三个新种,即喀什雀花Delphinium kaschgaricum C.Y.Yang et B.Wang,昆仑翠雀花D.kunlunshanicum C.Y.Yang et B.Wang,新塔翠雀花D.tarbagataicum C.Y.Yang et B.Wang。     

四川翠雀属三新种

描述了在中国四川发现的毛茛科翠雀属三新种:拟直距翠雀花Delphinium orthocentroides W.T.Wang,宽爪翠雀花D.platyony chinum W.T.Wang和大藏翠雀花D.dazangense W.T.Wang。     

紫苞翠雀花的名实问题和锡金翠雀花的确认

通过仔细检查紫苞翠雀花Delphinium purpurascens W. T. Wang、 粘毛翠雀花D. viscosum Hook. f. &; Thoms. 和锡金翠雀花 D. conocentrum Chatterjee的模式,发现紫苞翠雀花和粘毛翠雀花在所有性状上都没有本质区别,二者的小苞片特征相同,干时均为蓝紫色,船状披针形,着生于花梗上部,通常对生。本文将这二种予以归并。锡金翠雀花的小苞片绿色,宽披针形,与花邻接,与粘毛翠雀花易于区别,故该种应是一个独立的种。本文恢复了其种的地位。     

Hawkmooth pollination and hybridization in Delphinium leroyi (Ranunculaceae) on the Nyika Plateau, Malawi

The large circumboreal genus Delphinium is characterized by short-spurred blue-purple flowers pollinated primarily by bees. Two interesting exceptions to this pattern are the long-spurred red flowers of two western North American species known to be hummingbird-pollinated, and the long-spurred evening-scented white flowers of an east African species, Delphinium leroyi. Observations on the Nyika Plateau, Malawi, showed that flowers of D. leroyi were frequently visited by hawkmoths during a 30 minute period after dusk. The most common visitor, Hippotion celerio , has a mean tongue length of 37 mm, corresponding almost exactly to the floral spur of D. leroyi ; consequently, there is effective placement of pollen on the underside of the moths. The flowers were also visited occasionally by the very long tongued hawkmoth Agrius convolvuli , but this moth does not make effective contact with anthers and appears to act only as a nectar robber. Delphinium leroyi occurs in open grasslands on the Nyika Plateau, while a related species D. dasycaulon which has short-spurred blue flowers that are visited by bees, occurs in shrubby vegetation associated with old termitaria and forest margins. Although the two species are parapatric, occasional hybrids occur at sites where populations of the two species occur in close proximity. The status of hybrids was established by a morphometric analysis of the hybrids and their parent populations.     

中国薹草属二柱薹草亚属（莎草科）增补

报道了发现于新疆布尔津的一个中国新记录种——卵形薹草Carex leporina L.,提供了其形态描述和线描图。该种因具有雌雄顺序的小穗和鳞片状的苞片而与卵果薹草C. maackii Maxim.近缘,但花序较短、小穗较少而与后者不同。这两种植物隶属于薹草属二柱薹草亚属卵形薹草组subgen. Vignea sect. Ovales。     

Taxonomic notes on Astragalus sect. Malacothrix (Fabaceae) from Iran

Astragalus porphyrogrammus , occurring in the Zarin-Abad of Zanjan (Iran), is described and illustrated. This species belongs to A. sect. Malacothrix and seems to be distinct and interesting among the Iranian species. In this research, A. sect. Grammocalyx which was very artificial placed in A. subgen. Calycophysa transferred to A. subgen. Hypoglottis. Moreover, relationships between A. subgen. Hypoglottis and the closely related subgenera in genus Astragalus are discussed. Also A. lineatus is recorded for Iran.     

铁线莲属菝葜叶铁线莲组修订

对毛茛科Ranunculaceae铁线莲属Clematis的菝葜叶铁线莲组sect. Naraveliopsis进行了全面修订, 确定此组共含21种1亚种和1变种; 写出此组的分类学简史和地理分布, 并讨论了此组在铁线莲属中的系统位置; 将此组划分为3亚组, 写出分亚组、分种检索表, 以及各种植物的形态描述、地理分布、生长环境等, 并附有多数种的墨线图。根据对此组植物形态特征的分析, 观察到以下重要演化趋势: (1)叶从单叶演变到二回羽状复叶或二回三出复叶; (2)花从两性到单性, 从无退化雄蕊到有退化雄蕊; (3)雄蕊从无毛到有毛; (4)药隔突起从短(0.5-0.7 mm)到长(8.5-10 mm)。根据上述演化趋势,花两性、雄蕊被毛、退化雄蕊存在的荔波铁线莲亚组subsect. Liboenses(1种,特产贵州荔波)和花由两性变为单性的亚组subsect. Macgregorianae(2种,特产菲律宾)被认为是菝葜叶铁线莲组的进化群。在原始的菝葜叶铁线莲亚组subsect. Smilacifoliae(花两性,雄蕊无毛; 18种,广布亚洲热带地区)中,具单叶,花无退化雄蕊,药隔突起较短的菝葜叶铁线莲C. smilacifolia和滇南铁线莲C. fulvicoma被认为是较原始的种,而具三出复叶和退化雄蕊的C. vietnamensis和丝铁线莲C. loureiriana,以及具羽状复叶和长药隔突起(长达10 mm)的C. papillosa等3种则被认为是此亚组的进化种。自中南半岛北部山地向西经云贵高原南部至喜马拉雅东部山区集中分布有菝葜叶铁线莲组的13种植物,这一山区地带被认为是此组的分布中心。在此山区地带中,菝葜叶铁线莲的分布区和滇南铁线莲的分布区重叠部分的山区可能是此组的起源中心。     

果皮和种皮微形态特征在杜鹃花属系统学研究中的应用

采用扫描电子显微镜对国产杜鹃花属Rhododendron6个亚属的代表种和近缘类群杜香属Ledum杜香L.palustre的果皮和种皮微形态特征进行观察,对杜鹃花属植物果皮微形态特征进行了系统描述,并通过比较现存杜鹃花属植物和种子化石,新发现一些居间的种子类型。结果表明,果皮和种皮微形态特征具有一定的系统学意义。叶状苞亚属subgen.Therorhodion的叶状苞杜鹃R.redowskianum的果实有短而疏的刺毛,无气孔,种子为无翅类,扁平,外围轮廓长椭圆形。杜鹃亚属subgen.Rhododendron植物果皮为百合花杜鹃型,具有鳞片,气孔器散生于指状突起之间,与叶表皮的微形态特征一致,其种子为百合花杜鹃型,表面具宽而浅的沟,呈脑纹状,有别于无鳞类杜鹃花。常绿杜鹃亚属subgen.Hymenanthes果皮为云锦杜鹃型,其角质层表面不规则,无表皮毛,偶见气孔;种子为云锦杜鹃型。映山红亚属subgen.Tsutsusi果皮为岭南杜鹃型,密生长表皮毛,角质层致密;种子为南边杜鹃型和岭南杜鹃型。微形态特征与“常绿杜鹃亚属和(国产)映山红亚属均为内部支持率很高的单系类群”的分子系统发育研究结果一致。马银花亚属subgen.Azaleastrum的马银花组sect.Azaleastrum和长蕊杜鹃组sect.Choniastrum微形态区别明显,支持各自为独立的单系类群。羊踯躅亚属subgen.Pentanthera的羊踯躅R.molle果皮特征明显,可与其他亚属区分,但种子类型更接近常绿杜鹃亚属。本研究结合分子系统发育资料和叶表皮微形态特征讨论了一些近缘类群的系统发育关系;研究结果支持将腺萼马银花处理为独立的种。     

Pollen morphology of Rhododendron subgen. Tsutsusi and its systematic implications

Eighty-four pollen samples were obtained for 80 taxa, of which, 13 species and one variety are from sect. Brachycalyx Sweet, 58 species and two varieties from sect. Tsutsusi Sweet, and six species from subgen. Pentanthera (G. Don) Pojarkova, respectively. Pollen morphology of all samples was observed using LM and SEM. Pollen grains are revealed to be spheroidal and tetrahedral with tricolporate apertures. Pollen sizes of sub-gen. Tsutsusi (Sweet) Pojarkova range from 37.67 μm to 61.06 μm, and the exine sculptures are more or less compactly granulated. Pollen sizes are significantly different between sect. Brachycalyx and sect. Tsutsusi of subgen. Tsutsusi. Rhododendron tashiroi Maxim. of sect. Tsusiopsis Sleumer shows a close affinity to sect. Brachycalyx. Pollen size and exine are consistent with general morphology in differentiating species in sect. Tsutsusi. Rhododendron huadingense B. Y. Ding & Y. Y. Fang, once placed as a member of sect. Brachycalyx, should be considered as a species in subgen. Pentanthera.     

中国分类学文献中Swietenia mahagoni之订正

通过调查,对Swietenia mahagoni的后选模式、S.macrophylla的主模式与中国分类学文献(如《植物分类学报》、《广州植物志》、《中国高等植物图鉴》、《云南植物志》、《广东植物志》、《中国植物志》和《中国高等植物》)的S.mahagoni作比较,证实中国分类学文献将S.mahagoni和S.macrophylla相混,上述分类学文献中的S.mahagon是S.macrophylla King。桃花心木(S.mahagoni(L.)Jacq.)的羽状复叶及小叶较短,小叶长度绝不超过10 cm,果卵球形,长度绝不超过15 cm;而大叶桃花心木(S.macrophylla King)的羽状复叶及小叶较长,总有一部分小叶的长度超过10 cm,果长卵球形,长12~22 cm。
